Hello @neavvy,

My friend @crypto.piotr sent me here and well, here's my opinion:

Artificial intelligence is indeed a great invention in our time as it is good in monitoring activities especially on the internet which can be used to create profiles for specific group of people in a location- in simple words, AI is good in data collection, monitoring and interpretation.

However, in the creativity front, I do not think they will fare that well because in order for- let's just say a poem or an essay to be appreciated and be marked as excellent or impressive, its audience needed to be able to relate in it in a way or another. Something that a machine cannot do because it cannot feel any type of emotion.

have you seen this animated movie? It's called the Big Hero. A robot which was specifically invented to become a nurse and companion to sick or elderly people. Well, if you could observe, it "literally" attended to the needs of the boy as a nurse- disinfecting his arm, asking him if he is in pain and, applying necessary interventions.

I am a nurse and nursing is a complicated job. And most of the time, it involves personalized care for each and every patient(a job in my opinion cannot be made any easier by a census or creating profile for specific individuals). People comes from different backgrounds, races, religions and are influenced by environmental factors and their daily experience. That's why AI or robots have difficulty "learning" how to be human.

Another aspect that people around the world are trying to tinker in order to have machines act like humans is by allowing them to learn, process and modify their future response to a specific stimuli. It would have made people rich especially those who specialize in creating sex robots if indeed it was a successful front.

Unfortunately, robots are still in their "stone age" and are therefore limited to common machine tasks like auditing, data gathering and data interpretation- an efficient logical interpreter.

In my opinion, we can never create a machine that functions much like us because, we are spiritual and emotional beings.

PS

If any of you guys know of a machine that is excellent in deductive reasoning- like deep blue- who plays chess, let me know.
